This invention relates to portable calendars and has special reference to a small portable calendar adapted to be worn on the person or carried in the pocket after the manner of a watch, a postage stamp case, a cigar lighter or the like. i

. The present invention relates'particularly to the mechanism for operating the calendar and it is to be understood that such mechanismmay be incorporated in any of the sniall'articles ordinarily carried by a person, the cal-' endar case forming, as may be desired, part of a compact, match case, stamp'case, cigar lighter or any other like article.

One important object of the invention is to 7 provide a simple and efficient construction of operating means for such a calendar.

A second important object of the invention is to provide means whereby a renewable annual calendar strip maybe used in connection with the invention.

A third important object of the invention is to provide means whereby the strip may be suitably wound onto one roller and ofiof the other as desired. I

lVith the above and other objects in view as will behereinafter apparent, the invention consists in general of certain novel details of construction and combinations or parts here inafter fully described, illustrated in the;

accompanying drawings and specifically ters of reference indicate like parts in the several views, and:
